Stop press! Harry and Hazel have had a lot of fun completing their 6 for 60 challenge. Together they have raised over £1,600 for White Lodge, what a team and what a great result - well done, Harry & Hazel.
Here's a little bit about their challenge; for more info:
Challenge 6- Harry walked 75 meters around White Lodge using his tripod sticks, collecting superhero stickers as he went!
Challenge 5- Harry completed six trips both up and down a local road bridge/hill on his adapted tricycle, improving his strength and endurance.
Challenge 4- Harry and Hazel worked together on six physio goals to improve Harry's independent mobility at school.
Six bridges, climbing up and down a set of steps six times, six planks, six sit-ups, six arms and back extensions over peanut (feeding animals!) Walking 6 meters with back to the wall and no walking aids.
Challenge 3- scoring six goals in the frame football club.
Challenge 2- Hazel's turn! Completing the Devon coast-to-coast route on a bicycle.
Challenge 1- completing six hydrotherapy goals and working on Fun and Fitness.
Harry & Hazel said, "Thank you all for your encouragement and donations along the way. This opportunity has been so enjoyable and has paid dividends with our fitness, independence, and raising vital funds for White Lodge. Thank you!"

Update 15/8/22:
Firstly,
thank you so much for all your donations to date. Following Harry’s
hydrotherapy success, challenge no 2 was my choice. So, due to
having started cycling with Harry in 2020 for our ‘not so stay at home’
challenge, cycling has now become part of my weekly routine.
Well out of my comfort zone, I have just completed the Devon (Ilfracombe to Plymouth coast to coast route.
114 miles over 3 days. 12 hours cycling time, 8,258 ft climbed! I’ve learnt that
Devon is very beautiful, extremely hilly, and hugely challenging for me
on a push bike.
Watch
this space for Harry and my next challenge, eagerly anticipated in
September!
Thank
you again for all your generous donations.
Harry

Harry's Story:
Harry was referred to White Lodge Children’s therapy team at the
age of 16 months because of his diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy. Already at that early age, he had an
inquisitive nature and showed real determination. Throughout various medical
interventions he continued to make excellent progress and by the time he was
attending White Lodge Nursery, he was learning to walk with his own Kaye
walker.
When the first lockdown came in March 2020, he had just had a
specialist tricycle delivered so using this, together with Hazel, (his
physiotherapist), they set up Harry and Hazel’s not so stay at home heroes
cycling challenge. This was hugely successful and so, they have now created the
‘Harry and Hazel’s 60 for being 6 and 60ish’ challenge.
